In this case study, you’ll learn how Duncan Electric — a 70-year-old, family-owned electrical distributor — modernized their operations by replacing a legacy ERP with Ximple, a purpose-built cloud solution for distributors.
✓ How Duncan eliminated manual order processing and siloed data
✓ Why legacy ERP systems were holding them back
✓ What a 12-week implementation can look like with the right platform
✓ How omnichannel workflows and AI tools transformed customer experience
✓ Why distributors of any size can now compete with billion-dollar tech stacks
If you’re an independent or mid-sized electrical distributor struggling with:
✓ Outdated, hard-to-maintain ERP systems
✓ Disconnected tools and no real-time visibility
✓ A desire to launch eCommerce or mobile ordering without adding IT headcount
✓ Pressure to compete with better-funded national players
Then this case study will show how Duncan Electric turned these same pain points into a strategic advantage — using Ximple software to scale faster, serve smarter, and grow without complexity.
Here’s how Duncan Electric made it happen:
Phase 1: Data migration & system configuration
Phase 2: Pilot testing, hands-on user training, and feedback loops
Phase 3: Full go-live across multiple locations and departments
✓ Advanced eCommerce filters, VMI, CRM, and self-service portals
✓ AI-driven demand forecasting and personalized pricing
✓ More automation across warehouse operations
✓ Continued staff enablement via AI-guided onboarding
✓ Enhanced customer engagement at every touchpoint
